Our Favorite #BenAndJerrysBreakUpFlavors

Everyone has been there: that phone call or coffee date gone wrong where all of your future visions that you doodle onto your monotone-colored notebooks come crashing down with those five little words.

“It’s not you.  It’s me.”

But, rest assured that when you’re indulging in your favorite dessert that you’ve withheld from yourself the moment they asked you out because it gives you gas, you’ll be running every scenario through your head, wondering what you did wrong despite those five little words.

Maybe your go-to tear-soaked dessert is cake, or maybe it’s brownies. Maybe it’s cookies, or cupcakes, or something upscale like tiramisu. But, no matter what your favorite break-up treat, one can never forget the original. The O.G. The first, and the last.

Ice cream.

Everyone has a go-to flavor for every season and emotion. Christmas is a soothing peppermint, summer is a luscious sorbet, and a genuine congratulations is filled to the brim with the yummy crunch of rocky road.

But, what is the official break-up flavor of ice cream?

Let Twitter be your guide through all the stages of coping.

1. When you aren’t ashamed of your tears.

2. When you are the initiator, and it still hurts.

3. When acceptance finally comes around.

4. When someone needs to start finding back exits.

5. When you let your favorite men console you through this terrible time.

6. When you are still in disbelief.

7. And last, but most certainly not least…when you just need to plug up your heart to help with the pain.

 

There you have it. Ice cream flavors for every stage of grief when it comes to a break-up.  Whether you are the one being blind-sided or the one doing the blind-siding, there is something in here to quell everyone’s pain.

And, you know, butter.
